I was recently married to my beautiful wife during March of this year and along with her came about 70K or so of student loans. I believe there is some subsidized, unsubsidized, and a masters plus? In any case, she has been struggling to find a job in social work (her area of concentration for her masters degree) but because of our dual income as a couple, we are being forced to start making payments.
I currently work in a public high school that has a high population of low-income student families. Our free and reduced lunch numbers are near 50% this year. This is my fifth year.
My question is… since I have essentially inherited this student loan debt… Can I take advantage of the PSLF program in order to reduce or cancel the outstanding balance?
Much thanks in advance!
